Celebrity Friend

Zee's first role was playing the younger version of the lead in the drama, while Sharie portrayed the younger version of the female lead.

This role was not planned at all. He was a last-minute replacement for an actor who backed out. He was the only choice the production had at the time. It was a stroke of luck that allowed him to give his best and become known.

The first impression Sharie and Zee had of each other was not very favorable. Zee's behavior when he was cast was not as sociable as it was in the classroom. He was perceived as just a good-looking kid with basic acting skills. Meanwhile, Sharie's acting skills were excellent and were usually praised by the director; her scenes were typically completed in one or two attempts.

The director of the drama eventually became slightly annoyed and would often ask Zee to be more natural in his acting. Sharie found Zee's acting awkward and funny. She would sometimes laugh uncontrollably, unable to contain her amusement.

Zee would be shy and irritated at times but still tried his best. He took some acting classes, and Mr. Om helped him too. However, improvement isn't always consistent for everyone.

"Hey there... Do you want some help?" Sharie asked as she approached Zee, who was sitting inside the tent.

"I don't need your help. I'm fine," he replied and turned his gaze away.

"Your acting isn't great, and it's causing delays for everyone. Are you sure you don't need my help?"

Zee was surprised when he heard those words. He got a little annoyed and felt threatened. While he is indeed sociable, during his early years of his career, he seemed distant from others and would sometimes feel annoyed. It may be because he felt sorry for the inconveniences he caused but didn't know how to enhance his acting.

Within 2 days of shooting, he decided to take a different approach and agreed to accept help from Sharie. They grew close as they both worked and improved together. He was entertained and learned that Sharie is indeed kind and friendly.

That was the start of their friendship. To this day, Zee sees Sharie as one of her cherished friends, and Sharie feels the same way, but with a more special bond. Sharie always thinks of Zee and pays surprise visits whenever she wants to see him.

"Sharie, what are you doing here?" Zee was startled to see her on the rooftop.

"I'm waiting for you," she replied, her expression is bright.

"Is something wrong?" Zee asked "How have you been lately?"

"I'm fine. Nothing's wrong. I just wanted to hang out. It's been so long," she replied.

They walked along the entrance to the rooftop. As they walked, they saw a spacious area with a swimming pool on the left side, benches on the right side, and trees surrounding the entire area.

Sharie paused for a moment and then continued, 'I heard you have another shoot tomorrow; you've been quite busy these days.'

Zee nodded.

They could feel the cold breeze hitting their faces. Sharie couldn't help but stare at Zee.

"Why are you really here?" Zee asked.

"I'm here to give you some tips on your acting skills," Sharie replied jokingly.

"I have great acting skills now," Zee replied.

"Seriously, I think you need my help."

"Help with what?"

"For tomorrow..." Sharie replied as she turned her gaze to the sky. "Mr. Om contacted me. He said that some reporters already knew about your bracelet."

"Is that so?" he asked, looking surprised. "Why would he tell you that?"

"Don't be angry with him. He just wants to protect you."

"I'm not angry," Zee said as he took off his cap. "It's just... I can sense I'll be indebted to you again."

Sharie had a knack for helping Zee whenever he faced a problem, whether it was in his career or personal life. One time, there were rumors about Zee bullying a co-star, and Sharie did something to help prove his innocence in the bullying charge.

"If you feel indebted..." Sharie looked intensely at him. "What if we start dating?"

Zee stared at her and did not utter a word.
